Caricatures – more than faces.
Caricatures tend to pop up frequently in my work, especially in the last few years.
I like to include bits and pieces from the person’s work and hobbies e.g. those of Ferdi and Hilde Keller, guest house owners in Seapoint, who are also keen golfers, as are most of their guests.
Caricatures make wonderful corporate gifts. For special occasions as a token of appreciation for individuals, it is the perfect personal gift. One can also honour a team with a multi-caricature to mark an occasion.
Adding certain items in the background can reflect the person’s hobbies or work or both, as can be seen in the caricature of Henk, who is involved in telecommunications.
For the Zest agency, all five individuals in the team appear on a billboard welcoming visitors to their town, Dullstroom.
